Heres the best I have right now, Ill try to take some new ones that show the coloring better. Like said earlier they match much better in person, except for the led city lights, those I dont think anyone has gotten to match very close, but they dont look as blue in person.

Yep, thats what I recommend! And yea, I think 2 hours or lessis about right (because its a brand new car and its your baby so you will want to be very careful doing everything!).

I put Piaa's high beams and fog lights. they look almost like the HID lights colors. The only problem i had was the fog lights dont quite fit correctly. they havent fallen out yet .

Hope it helps

slee18: what kind of PIAA was it? model or style? (whatever you call those, there are so many different piaas...) I'm just curious.

ben: did your replacement fog lights had the same issue? hope it doesn't..

Nope, they are a perfect fit. Same exact bulb just a different color.

Dang man! You must be like next door! Went with the V-leds anyway huh? Well good, im anxious to see if they match the rest of our lights better than the ones I got. I think they look the same as I believe I have seen them before, but if they are closer Ill order a pair.

I put in the xtreme white plus 4000K on both high beams and fog lights. I had the dealer turn off the daytime running lights because i didnt feel like replace these expensive bulbs anytime soon. I try to get a pic posted if you want.
